Bought mine in mid 90s when I worked on an MVD station in Lake Havasu city. We built a detached building that was to be used for vehicle emission testing. Wasn't any testing at the time so I thought if I got the historic plates might buy me some leeway on the smog testing for my "Historic...

I bought those for a few of my rigs years ago. They used to have red letters. As years went by the copper tarnished and the red lettering faded, now you can hardly read the numbers and letters. As AZ only requires rear license plates, I still have the pristine as new ones saved I never used on...

Got some 3rd gen steel / chrome 17" wheels for my 98. Wheels fit, but rear caps weren't deep enough. Used a hole saw on the cap from the inside out for the rear hub and also had to clearance a little for the lug nuts. Doesn't look bad - got some great tires in the deal so worth it to me...

Sounds good. I usually check pressures and cycling at 1200+ rpm on my CTD. Probably why it wasn't cycling at 700 & 84*. My truck is a 98, fill is 32 oz, but yours may be different. Nice to have Ice Cold AC! Especially here in AZ! Enjoy!

Did you finally put the full 32 oz in? what is the ambient temperature while you are doing this? What RPM is the motor running while it is not cycling? Max AC with fan on high doors open? By not cycling do you mean it is hovering near 30-35 psi low side? By not cycling compressor not turning off...

The cycling / low pressure switch is on the accumulator. It can be removed / replaced without losing gas - the accumulator has a schrader valve under the switch

Your could try jumping the low pressure switch and see if the compressor clutch kicks in. That would confirm low gas (or bad switch) IF it works. If not, try rotating the clutch plate as you suggested, then check for power at the compressor clutch as you said. While you are there, check the...

I found a set of 2015 alloy wheels for my rwd 1998 12v for cheap in my area. Picked them up from an older gent (like me) who had taken them off the first year he owned the truck in 2015. Perfect condition wheels. He said they were 17s, I didn't check till I got home, they were actually 18s. The...

Which is bound to happen with the new regime. They want us to be short vegetarian bicycle riding cat people. SHORT - take up less space on the planet and exhale less CO2, VEGETARIAN - So we don't eat beef and they don't have to deal with cow farts methane gas, BICYCLE RIDING - we will no longer...

I had a new set of Hercules Terra Tracs, 285/75/16s on my 97 F350 CC 4x4 SRW when I bought it, came with the truck. At about 15,000 one tire separated. Bought another to replace it, then another one did the same thing. Said heck with this and went to another brand. Could have been a fluke?? But...

I have one of these https://www.genosgarage.com/product/acutemp-adapter/gauge-related installed on the output line in my truck. When I haul a trailer from town to my exit from the 2 lane highway, then turn onto the 1-1/2 mile dirt road to my house I go from 60 mph on a steady 7 mile (4-5%)...

I left San Diego (a place I grew up and liked) in 78 when the E Coast liberals flooded in and it seemed that the only people I met were from somewhere else with different ideas of what freedom was than mine, and were becoming the majority. Moved to WA after a small stint on MN road construction...

Looks like the moderator finally approved my link to the 97 FSM, it is now active in post #5, if anyone is looking. I didn't create the file or link site, so not sure how long it will be around.

I tried to start a "conversation" with JustinB a few days ago to share a Service Manual with him but don't think the message ever got through or someting else. I couldn't add a link to the manual in the message, so just told him to send me his email? He should still buy a paper FSM from Genos...
